Cerebral and systemic endothelial dysfunction in migraine: Current knowledge and perspective [PDF]
Migraine still causes a high rate of disability and is reported to increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be one of the underlying mechanisms linking migraine and vascular disorders ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor +405G/C polymorphism as a predictor of diabetic retinopathy
Background Diabetic retinopathy is a multistage event, and the most important of it is angiogenesis. The possible association between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) +405G/C gene polymorphism and various diseases, in which angiogenesis might be

Lymphangiogenic Markers and Their Impact on Nodal Metastasis and Survival in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer--A Structured Review with Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), nodal metastasis is an adverse prognostic factor. Several mediating factors have been implied in the development of nodal metastases and investigated for predictive and prognostic properties in NSCLC. However, study

Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C‐mediated lymphangiogenesis promotes tumour metastasis [PDF]
Metastasis is a frequent and lethal complication of cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is a recently described lymphangiogenic factor. Increased expression of VEGF-C in primary tumours correlates with dissemination of tumour cells to regional lymph nodes.

CD8 T-cell induction against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 by Salmonella for vaccination purposes against a murine melanoma. [PDF]
The Salmonella type III secretion system (T3SS) efficiently translocates heterologous proteins into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. This leads to an antigen-specific CD8 T-cell induction in mice orally immunized with recombinant Salmonella. Recently, we

Serum vascular endothelial growth factors C and D in patients with oesophageal cancer☆☆☆ [PDF]
Lymph node metastasis is a characteristic of malignant cancers and is observed more frequently in oesophageal cancer than in other digestive tract cancers, making it one of the most important prognostic factors. Vascular endothelial growth factors C (VEGF-C) and D (VEGF-D) are important lymphangiogenic factors in human cancers and lymphangiogenesis is ...

Endometriosis is an angiogenesis-dependent disease. Many studies demonstrated inhibition of angiogenesis leads to inhibition of endometriotic growth, however underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Our previous study suggested vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) as a target of anti-angiogenesis therapy for endometriosis.
